Error after deleting cached OS image

[cnw]

Ok,

I am new to this. We wanted to start fresh having run successfully a number of package creations with Instadmg (we had bypassed instaUp2Date for the moment). I deleted the cached OS images and I am now getting the errors

ash-3.2# sudo ./instadmg.bash -s -n “Mac HD” -m LionTest214:18:35 ###### InstaDMG build initiated ######

The file it is looking for was deleted (not in the trash). I thought it would be building from InstallESD.dmg if it could not find a cached image and hence rebuild the cached image.

I tried with the -v option but that did not help.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

You’re right, it should make a new cache file, so something is not right. I can announce with some confidence that InstaUp2Date functionality has been restored with the svn checkout you have, and I’d greatly recommend you try it after maybe doing a fresh checkout.
Just to verify, btw, you’re building 11A2061-based images for 2011 mini’s only, right?

Thanks Allister,

I will have a go with instaUp2Date and see if the problem is fixed. Yes the build is for the new Mac mini.

Just to confirm, InstaUp2Date is now fully compatible with OS X Lion and InstaDMG?

in a word, yes. I need to check in iTunes update, but otherwise catalog files are current, too
